I've had a similar issue, but mine occurred directly after saving the game and it crashing during said crash. After that, every town and outpost was a ghost town/outpost. Not a soul in sight.

Same issue.

Game crashed during save. Once reloaded the save remembers all by characters and their gear and where I saved the game. However all the NPCs are gone, Even the random ones.

Yep, can confirm this. Crashed during save, all I can remember that I was doing was building the basic research table, re-organizing inventory, had just sold some stuff I believe and that was it. Not sure if any NPC's did anything as i was busy re-organizing. Crash dump file below. Tried to reset squad positions but it kept ghost town. Importing with or without buildings works fine but I didn't save when I imported buildings due to it being buggy.

( A bug where if you bought a house in town or at least Brink and you import it, both you and the original civilian will own it, thereby causing a mess and having it unbuildable. )

Yup, same thing happened, crash during save and now cities are empty. Dont know about the bandits but Im guessing its the same thing as everyone above me.

This is the same problem http://www.lofigames.com/phpBB3/viewtop ... f=9&t=2915

I found a workaround, when you happen upon this, you just do a new game importing your squad and buildings, has worked twice for me.

Been playing the game for most of the day and haven't noticed this again. So far it looks like it might be fixed with most recent update...

Just got this bug. At first I thought the city had fallen to bandits, which kind of bummed me out, yet also made me happy that the dynamic world was working. Of course I head to the nearest trading post and no one is there as well.

I don't think the bandits are wiping out settlements, but the characters are no longer present.

same problem but i still have outpost reinstalling or importing location didnt help 4.01

Had it again. Was at Brink again, in the field looting from a massive brawl the ai had. After saving of fearing a crash, it crashed. Was researching as well as building but the biggest lead to the crash is the massive brawlout that i looted. Quicksave and crashdump are there.

Also have a complete empty town next to my outpost in my new 40.1 game. All NPCs gone.
